Lower ramification groups of a local field extension #
For a finite Galois extension L/K of nonarchimedean local fields, the canonical lower
ramification group consists of automorphisms acting trivially on the integer ring modulo
the (i + 1)-st power of its maximal ideal. The integer index is total: at i ≤ -1 the
group is the full Galois group.
This is the local field specialization of TauCeti.IsLocalRing.ramificationGroup. Besides the
integer-indexed filtration, the file provides the real indexing G_u = G_{⌈u⌉} on which the
Herbrand function is built, the largest jump of the filtration, and its compatibility with the
subgroup Gal(L/K') ≤ Gal(L/K) of a tower L/K'/K.

The inertia group has order the ramification index: #G_0 = e(L/K).
The inertia group is the whole Galois group exactly in the totally ramified case:
G_0 = Gal(L/K) if and only if e(L/K) = [L : K].

Eventual triviality and the largest jump #
The lower ramification filtration separates the automorphisms of L/K.
The lower ramification groups are trivial from some index on.
The largest jump t of the lower ramification filtration. For a nontrivial Galois group
it is the largest index with G_t ≠ 1, so that G_t ≠ 1 and G_{t + 1} = 1
(lowerRamificationGroup_largestLowerJump_ne_bot and lowerRamificationGroup_eq_bot_iff); it is
at least -1 because G_{-1} is the whole Galois group. When L ≃ₐ[K] L is trivial every G_i
is trivial and there is no jump; the value is then -1 by convention.
Equations
Instances For
The largest lower jump is at least -1.
The lower ramification groups past the largest jump are trivial.
For a nontrivial automorphism group, the lower ramification group at the largest jump is nontrivial.
For a nontrivial automorphism group, G_i is trivial exactly past the largest lower jump.
Real indexing #
The lower ramification filtration indexed by a real number through the ceiling, as needed by
the Herbrand function: G_u = G_{⌈u⌉}, a step function constant on each interval (i - 1, i].
Equations
Instances For
The real-indexed lower ramification group at u is the integer-indexed one at ⌈u⌉.
Membership in the real-indexed lower ramification groups.
At an integer the real indexing agrees with the integer indexing.
When Serre's lower index of σ is the natural number n, σ ∈ G_u exactly when
u ≤ n - 1.
The real-indexed lower filtration is constant on each interval (i - 1, i].
The real-indexed lower filtration is decreasing.
Breaks of the lower filtration #
A lower break: the ramification group at u is strictly larger than the group at every
later index. Since lower numbering uses ceilings, its breaks occur at integers.
Equations

Instances For
A lower break is a strict drop of the lower ramification group at every later index.
Every lower break occurs at an integer index.
At an integer i ≥ -1, a lower break is exactly a strict decrease from G_i to
G_{i+1}.
For a nontrivial automorphism group, G_u is trivial exactly for real u past the largest
lower jump.
Every real-indexed lower ramification group is normal in the Galois group.
Compatibility with subgroups #
For a tower L/K'/K, the group Gal(L/K') is the subgroup H of Gal(L/K) fixing K', embedded
by AlgEquiv.restrictScalarsHom. Its lower filtration is the trace of that of L/K:
H_i = H ∩ G_i.
Restricting scalars leaves Serre's lower index unchanged.
An automorphism of L/K' lies in the i-th lower ramification group of L/K' exactly when
it lies in that of L/K after restricting scalars.
Compatibility with subgroups: the image of the lower filtration of L/K' in Gal(L/K)
is the trace H ∩ G_i of the lower filtration of L/K on the image H of Gal(L/K').
